Standing in the dock at the city’s magistrates court he revealed how his girl Skye has just been released from intensive care after being born three months prematurely.
She suffers from a bowel disorder which needs regular medical attention meaning the star has to make mercy dashes.
He said the whole situation has placed enormous strain on his relationship with partner Stephanie.
He also claims he will be sold by the Magpies soon.
Danny Simpson: “It’s been tough for both of us.
“Our baby girl came out of hospital a few weeks ago but then she caught a virus and had to go back in.
“She came out on Friday but we have to take her to hospital at least twice a week.
“She’s still only seven and a half pounds and has problems feeding.”
"Stephanie has problems feeding. My partner can’t just get up in the morning and feed her and take me to training.
“With everything going on we have been arguing a lot, there’s things we need to work on but it’s not about us. It’s about our little girl.
"There is a chance in the future that I will be moving, whether in the transfer window in January or in the summer.
“I have 18 months’ left on my contract and I don’t think it will go past that.”
He said if he is to travel all over the country to clubs potentially interested in him, he will find it difficult if he cannot drive.
He admitted doing 48mph in a 30mph zone and already having nine penalty points on his licence.
Simpson was caught by a speed camera driving his Audi on Benton Lane near the club’s training ground on April 13. He admitted the charge but the player who had nine points on his licence for three motoring offences including a speeding offence in May 2008, claimed “exceptional hardship”.
When asked by prosecutor Fiona Varley if he could not hire a chauffeur, Simpson replied: “I don’t see a chauffeur as an option because they cost a lot of money.
“I’d have to rely on teammates and taxis.
“I earn less money than most Premiership players although I am on good money.”
Prosecutor Fiona Varley asked: “How do you travel to away matches?”
Simpson replied: “Most away games are down south so we usually fly. But we make our own way to the airport. I drive to the airport.”
Ms Varley suggested to Simpson that he could get a taxi or a lift from teammates to the airport and he replied, “yes I could”.
Simpson said: “I have to get to training and back and with the possibility of me moving (clubs) I will have to travel to new clubs wherever it might be.”
Magistrates gave him four points for the speeding offence, meaning under totting up procedure he was banned from driving for six months.
But Mr Conlon said his client was appealing against the ban, so the disqualification was suspended pending an appeal at crown court.
Simpson was also ordered to pay a fine of £333, prosecution costs of £30 and a victim surcharge of £15.

"Magpies In Europe" is available NOW! It features match reports and individual features from Toon fans on the 60 'away' trips Newcastle have made in Europe. Sports Journalist Richie Everson: "At last a book that the fabulous Newcastle United fans can relate to. It's informative, all the facts and figures are there, plus the 120 match reports from all the fixtures ... but it is the articles by the supporters that amazed me. "I went to many of those games, and this is the only book I can honestly say 'hits the nail on the head'! "Yes we know the results and the scorers, but some of the facts in this book had me so wrapped up in it I couldn't put it down. "Was Benny Arentoft cup-tied when he played in the final? Big Wyn and his battle with John McGrath; McFaul scoring a penalty when the crowd had gone home; the trouble in Palermo; it is all amazing stuff. "I would honestly give this book 10 out of 10." The book is available NOW from THE BACK PAGE!
